Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

The next day

Master Chu brought all the ladies of the family to wait at the gate of the Chu Mansion, which showed the importance they attached to this meeting.

Everyone was glancing around, occasionally staring at the intersection, watching to see when the carriage would return.

The servants at home were also busying themselves, not daring to slack off at all. Guests had visited the house before, but the master and the madam never went to the gate to greet them.

Today, with the master and madam personally greeting at the gate, it indicated that important guests were coming, so they dared not slack off. Otherwise, a minor mistake could lead to punishment, or at worst, they might have to leave.

Although the farming season was over, and winter was approaching, the Yang Family was different from other families with too much work to do. Afraid they couldn’t find time, Chu Lian decided with the family the day before and went to Yang Family Village to make arrangements for them.

So unsurprisingly, the Yang Family could arrive early this morning, which was why Master Chu brought the family to wait here.

Finally, they heard the clip-clopping of hooves.

The family craned their necks to look toward the road and indeed saw their carriage.

Soon two carriages stopped at their gate.

Old man Yang and the others got off one by one.

Master Chu and Madam Chu went up to greet them. At the sight of Old Yang and Yang Ming’s mother, they knew right away that these were Xiangxiang’s recognized parents. Master Chu stepped forward and said, "In-laws, in-law mother, I’m really sorry it took so long to invite you over."

Old man Yang wasn’t expecting Chu Lian’s parents to be so kind and personally come to greet them, feeling a little embarrassed, as they were indeed prestigious people. "In-laws, in-law mother, our whole family coming over is really troubling you."

Old man Yang didn’t expect the whole family to come. A few days ago, he had heard from Chu Lian about the in-laws meeting and thought it would just be him and his old lady. Bringing the whole family was a bit embarrassing, also fearing that the children might not behave well in this wealthy family. However, having had the previous experience at the Guo Mansion, Old man Yang felt a bit more at ease.

At this point, Madam Chu spoke up, "What trouble? Not inviting you over earlier was indeed our negligence."

People from the Yang Family also got off the carriage, and everyone exchanged greetings and introductions.

The Chu Family saw Xiaoxiao holding the child and felt somewhat emotional, wanting to rush forward, but Chu Lian stopped them, "Father, Mother, let’s go inside first and then talk."

Only then did Master Chu and Madam Chu restrain their emotions, knowing not to be too obvious, lest the Yang Family become suspicious.

While exchanging pleasantries, everyone was led into the courtyard.

It was Chu Huan, naturally outgoing, with Wang Xiangxiang accompanying her, who first approached Xiaoxiao to see the child.

Chattering constantly next to Xiaoxiao, she seemed very excited.

"What’s his name?"

"How old is he?"

"Can he talk yet?"

"Can he walk yet?"

"Can he eat by himself now?"

"I’m your little aunt!"

"Haha, he smiled at me!"

"Can I hold him?"

"..."

"..."

Xiaoxiao considered Chu Huan’s childlike nature without much thought, finding the chat very enjoyable and liking such a lively person.

But with Chu Huan asking this and that, playing with the child, Master Chu and Madam Chu felt quite envious. They wanted to do the same, but their age limited them, so they had to wait for an opportunity later inside.
